"Your work is the breath of light!"
I recently purchased the ‘Akoma Geometry scarf- it is exquisitely hand woven by the hands of a true artist. One can tell that so much of who she is was delicately ‘threaded in each stitch. Stunningly beautiful work!

"Anticipating a response"
This is a surprise Christmas gift for my husband. It is a nice mask. It had a small chip on the upper lip when it arrived but it can easily be covered. It is not an antique so it probably doesnt matter. Otherwise, it is colorful and looks like it will add a lot to my husbands collection.
